A salmon id phylogeny inferred from mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences

Partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences of eight salmonid species were used in a PAUP analysis to generate a phylogeny of the group. The four genera represented are Salmo, Salvelinus, Oncorhynchus and Thymallus . The inferred phylogenetic tree coincides well with the classically derived one for these genera. The recent reclassification of the rainbow trout as a member of the genus Oncorhynchus is supported. The assignment of grayling as the outgroup is vindicated. The utility of gene sequence data to infer the phylogenetic relationships of the Salmonidae is discussed.

Molecular phylogeny of five species of Dremomys (Rodentia: Sciuridae), inferred from cytochrome b gene sequences

Analyses of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (1140 bp) showed that Dremomys lokriah , D. pernyi , D. pyrrhomerus , D. rufigenis and D. gularis all are separate species. Dremomys pyrrhomerus showed 8.5% sequence variation from D. rufigenis, and the level of estimated sequence divergence observed among D. gularis , D. lokriah and D. pernyi was > 11%. With Tamiops and Callosciurus as the outgroup taxa, in both maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses, the five Dremomys species formed one strongly supported monophyletic group and D. pyrrhomerus is closely related to D. rufigenis . The derived divergence times and fossil record suggested that the present geographical distributions of Dremomys owe much to the uplifting of the Himalayas and the successive glacial and interglacial in the Pliocene–Pleistocene.     

Genetic diversity of mitochondrial cytochrome b gene in Chinese native buffalo

The origins of the domestic water buffalo remain contentious. To better understand the origins of Chinese water buffalo, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial cytochrome b (MT-CYB) gene from 270 individuals representing 13 Chinese domestic swamp buffalo populations. We found genetic evidence of introgression of river buffalo into Chinese swamp buffalo herds. Swamp buffalo haplotypes can be divided into two highly divergent lineages (A and B), suggesting that Chinese native swamp buffalo have two maternal origins. We found that the A→G transition in the buffalo MT-CYB gene stop codon resulted in buffalo haplotypes being terminated by one of two stop codons: AGA or AGG. AGA is common to river buffalo and lineage A of swamp buffalo, while AGG is specific to lineage B of swamp buffalo. Lineage A appears to have been domesticated in China. Further genetic evidence is required to clarify the origins of lineage B.     

Application of recA and rpoB sequence analysis on phylogeny and molecular identification of Geobacillus species

Aims:  Some Geobacillus species have highly similar 16S rRNA gene sequences, making 16S rDNA sequence analysis-based identification problematic. To overcome this limitation, recA and rpoB sequence analysis was evaluated as an alternative for distinguishing Geobacillus species.
Methods and Results:  The phylogram of 16S rRNA gene sequences inferred from the neighbour-joining method showed that nine clusters of Geobacillus species were characterized with bootstrap values >90%. The recA and rpoB sequences of 10 reference strains in clusters V, VIb and VIc were amplified and sequenced using consensus primers. Alignment of recA sequences in clusters V, VIb and VIc revealed three types of recA genes, consistent with the putative amino acid sequences and in vivo recA splicing analysis. The phylogram constructed from rpoB sequences showed more divergence than that constructed from 16S rRNA gene sequences.
Conclusions:  recA and rpoB sequence analysis differentiated closely-related Geobacillus species and provided direct evidence for reclassifying some species dubiously categorized as Geobacilli . Additionally, this study revealed three types of recA genes in the different Geobacillus species.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  This study highlights the advantage of recA and rpoB sequence analysis to supplement 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis for efficient and convenient determination of Geobacillus species.     

Evolution of mitochondrial and ribosomal gene sequences in anophelinae (Diptera: Culicidae): implications for phylogeny reconstruction

In this study, two mitochondrial genes, cyt b and ND5, and the D2 expansion segment of the 28S nuclear ribosomal gene were used to reconstruct a phylogeny of the mosquito subfamily Anophelinae. The ingroup consisted of all three genera of Anophelinae and five of six subgenera of Anopheles. Six genera of Culicinae were used as the outgroup. Extreme conservation at the protein level coupled with rapid saturation of synonymous positions probably accounted for the lack of meaningful phylogenetic signal in the cyt b gene. In contrast, abundant variation at all codon positions of the ND5 gene allowed recovery of the basal and most of the recent relationships. Phylogenetic analysis of D2 produced results consistent with those of ND5. Combined analysis indicated well-supported monophyletic Anophelinae (with Chagasia basal), Anopheles + Bironella, and subgeneric clades within the genus Anopheles. Moreover, subgenera Nyssorhynchus and Kerteszia were supported as a monophyletic lineage. The Kishino-Hasegawa test could not reject the monophyly of Anopheles, whereas the recently proposed hypothesis of close affinity of Bironella to the subgenus Anopheles was rejected by the analyses of ND5 and combined data sets. The lack of resolution of Bironella and Anopheles clades, or basal relationships among subgeneric clades within Anopheles, suggests their rapid diversification. Recovery of relationships consistent with morphology and previous molecular studies provides evidence of substantial phylogenetic signal in D2 and ND5 genes at levels of divergence from closely related species to subfamily in mosquitoes.
